"Manual washing" of a misprint board basically is smearing of printed solder paste all over the board. And trying to remove (wipe off) it afterwards. So for me it would not be any surprise that the solder paste ended up on the pads where it was not i

That is correct. This looks like a board that was printed then wiped but not washed. Solder spheres left out on an unsolderable surface will just sit there like this or coalesce into solder balls. Nothing in the picture indicates an issue with the

I just swapped from the HASL to Immersion Silver mainly because the board house we use could not maintain consistency in keeping the pads level. I was constantly battling bumps and bad finishes on the pads. They are able to give me a consistent board

Kris, You will need to change your probes to "bite" into the surface twisting probes specialy designed for copper surfaces. The surface hardness of copper is a lot higher compared to tin. link to article from osp manufacturer (see page 5) http://www

Hi Folks, I'm looking for detailed information about the different composition of circuit board pads. We have been experiencing some issues with our solder, and I would like to know the differences between compositions. I do know that we ran a cust

Craig & Rem - I would also recomend switching to ENig - OSP would be my sencond choise ENig will give you the flatness your looking for plus the best shelf life. Enig is about 5% more than Hot Air. Enig also does not cause as much stress on the c

Like I said a lot of people don't tape the gold fingers the first time they run them. After that they make sure the fingers get taped up because solder gets places you don't think it does and once it touches gold, that gold is contaminated. How do y

Hi, Mainly concentrate on 2 subjects: 1- Cleaning of Misprinted PCB (always use best neutraliser to remove paste from PCB), 2- Underneath Stencil Cleaning - Use good stencil cleaner (rather than IPA) to wipe your stencil. Because both the above said

Copper gets etched in a photographic manner. ENIG is an additive process. Nickel gets added then gold gets added on top. Therefore it is not a matter of over etching. It is a matter of not enough gold added. The layer of gold ideally is as thin as po
